1 Introduction
Differential Calculus is centred on the concept of the
derivative
...
Integral
Calculus is motivated by the problem of defining and
calculating the area of the region bounded by the graph of
the functions
...
e
...
W
...
Further, the formula that gives
all these anti derivatives is called the indefinite integral of the function and such
process of finding anti derivatives is called integration
...
For instance, if we know the instantaneous velocity of an
object at any instant, then there arises a natural question, i
...
, can we determine the
position of the object at any instant? There are several such practical and theoretical
situations where the process of integration is involved
...

These two problems lead to the two forms of the integrals, e
...
, indefinite and
definite integrals, which together constitute the Integral Calculus
...
The definite integral is also used to solve many interesting
problems from various disciplines like economics, finance and probability
...


7
...
Instead of differentiating a function,
we are given the derivative of a function and asked to find its primitive, i
...
, the original
function
...

Let us consider the following examples:
We know that

d
(sin x ) = cos x
dx
d x3
( ) = x2
dx 3

and


...
(2)

d x
(e ) = e x

...
We say

x3
and
3
ex are the anti derivatives (or integrals) of x2 and ex, respectively
...
Similarly, in (2) and (3),

d x
d
d x3
(e + C) ✂ e x
( + C) ✁ x 2 and
(sin x + C) cos x ,
dx
dx 3
dx
Thus, anti derivatives (or integrals) of the above cited functions are not unique
...
For this reason
C is customarily referred to as arbitrary constant
...

d
F (x) = f (x) , ✄ x ☎ I (interval),
More generally, if there is a function F such that
dx
then for any arbitrary real number C, (also called constant of integration)
d
✆ F (x) + C✝ = f (x), x ☎ I
dx

INTEGRALS

289

{F + C, C ✄ R} denotes a family of anti derivatives of f
...
To show this, let g and h
be two functions having the same derivatives on an interval I
...
e
...

In view of the above remark, it is justified to infer that the family {F + C, C ✄ R}
provides all possible anti derivatives of f
...

Symbolically, we write
Notation Given that

☎ f (x) dx = F (x) + C
...


For the sake of convenience, we mention below the following symbols/terms/phrases
with their meanings as given in the Table (7
...

Table 7
...

From these formulae, we can write down immediately the corresponding formulae
(referred to as standard formulae) for the integrals of these functions, as listed below
which will be used to find integrals of other functions
...
However, in any specific problem one has to keep it in mind
...
2
...
Then ✡ f (x) dx ✟ x ✠ C
...
But these integrals are very similar geometrically
...
By
assigning different values to C, we get different members of the family
...
In this case, each integral represents a parabola with
its axis along y-axis
...
The
curve y = x2 + 1 for C = 1 is obtained by shifting the parabola y = x2 one unit along
y-axis in positive direction
...
Thus, for each positive value of C,
each parabola of the family has its vertex on the positive side of the y-axis and for
negative values of C, each has its vertex along the negative side of the y-axis
...

In the Fig 7

The same is true when a < 0

Further, the following equation (statement) ✂ f (x) dx F (x ) ✁ C y (say) ,
represents a family of curves
...
This is the geometrical interpretation of indefinite integral

...

(I) The process of differentiation and integration are inverses of each other in the
sense of the following results :

d
f (x) dx = f (x)
dx ☎
and

✂ f ✆(x) dx = f (x) + C, where C is any arbitrary constant

(II) Two indefinite integrals with the same derivative lead to the same family of
curves and so they are equivalent
...


f (x) dx and g (x) dx are equivalent
...
(1)

d

dx

= f (x) + g (x)
Thus, in view of Property (II), it follows by (1) and (2) that

To find an anti derivative of a given function, we search intuitively for a function
whose derivative is the given function
...
We illustrate it
through some examples

Note From now onwards, we shall write only one constant of integration in the
final answer
...

Given that

F(0) = 3, which gives,

3 = 0 – 6 × 0 + C or C = 3
Hence, the required anti derivative is the unique function F defined by
F(x) = x4 – 6x + 3
...
Thus, if we know one anti derivative F of a function f, we can write
down an infinite number of anti derivatives of f by adding any constant to F
expressed by F(x) + C, C ✄ R
...

(ii) Sometimes, F is not expressible in terms of elementary functions viz

We are
therefore blocked for finding ✂ f (x) dx

1 Integration by substitution
In this section, we consider the method of integration by substitution
...

Consider

I=

Put x = g(t) so that
We write

f (x) dx

dx
= g✂(t)
...
It is often important to guess what will be the useful
substitution
...

Example 5 Integrate the following functions w
...
t
...
Thus, we make the substitution
mx = t so that mdx = dt
...
Thus, we use the substitution x2 + 1 = t so that
2x dx = dt
...
Thus, we use the substitution
x is x 2 ✁

2 x

(iii) Derivative of

2 x

dx ✄ dt giving dx = 2t dt
...
Thus, we use the substitution

tan–1 x = t so that

dx
= dt
...
These will be used later without
reference
...
Then dx = dt

In this

A definite integral is denoted by

b

f (x) dx , where a is called the

lower limit of the integral and b is called the upper limit of the integral
...
e
...
Here, we shall consider these two cases separately as discussed
below:
7
...
1 Definite integral as the limit of a sum
Let f be a continuous function defined on close interval [a, b]
...

b

The definite integral ✁ f (x) dx is the area bounded by the curve y = f (x), the
a
ordinates x = a, x = b and the x-axis
...
2)
...
2

Divide the interval [a, b] into n equal subintervals denoted by [x0, x1], [x1, x2] ,
...
, [xn – 1, xn], where x0 = a, x1 = a + h, x2 = a + 2h,
...

We note that as n ✟ ☎✆ h ✟ 0

From Fig 7

(1)
Evidently as xr – xr–1 ✟ 0, i

, h ✟ 0 all the three areas shown in (1) become
nearly equal to each other
...

n 1

sn = h [f(x0) + … + f (xn - 1)] = h✂ f ( xr )


...
(3)

r ✁1

Here, sn and Sn denote the sum of areas of all lower rectangles and upper rectangles
raised over subintervals [xr–1, xr] for r = 1, 2, 3, …, n, respectively
...
(4)
As n ✝ ✞ strips become narrower and narrower, it is assumed that the limiting
values of (2) and (3) are the same in both cases and the common limiting value is the
required area under the curve
...
(5)

It follows that this area is also the limiting value of any area which is between that
of the rectangles below the curve and that of the rectangles above the curve
...
Thus, we rewrite (5) as

Remark The value of the definite integral of a function over any particular interval
depends on the function and the interval, but not on the variable of integration that we

Systematic approach to the theory of Calculus began in the 17th century

We discussed the axiomatic approach formulated by
Russian Mathematician, A
...
Kolmogorov (1903-1987)
and treated probability as a function of outcomes of the
experiment
...
On the basis of this
relationship, we obtained probabilities of events associated
with discrete sample spaces
...
In this chapter, we shall discuss
the important concept of conditional probability of an event
given that another event has occurred, which will be helpful
in understanding the Bayes' theorem, multiplication rule of
Pierre de Fermat
probability and independence of events
...
In the last
section of the chapter, we shall study an important discrete probability distribution
called Binomial distribution
...


13
...
If we have two events from the same sample space, does the information
about the occurrence of one of the events affect the probability of the other event? Let
us try to answer this question by taking up a random experiment in which the outcomes
are equally likely to occur

The sample space of the
experiment is

Then
E = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH}
and
F = {THH, THT, TTH, TTT}
Therefore
P(E) = P ({HHH}) + P ({HHT}) + P ({HTH}) + P ({THH})
Since the coins are fair, we can assign the probability

Now, suppose we are given that the first coin shows tail, i
...
F occurs, then what is
the probability of occurrence of E? With the information of occurrence of F, we are
sure that the cases in which first coin does not result into a tail should not be considered
while finding the probability of E
...
In other words, the additional information really
amounts to telling us that the situation may be considered as being that of a new
random experiment for which the sample space consists of all those outcomes only
which are favourable to the occurrence of the event F
...


with

P(E ☎ F) = P({THH}) =

Thus, Probability of E considering F as the sample space =

This probability of the event E is called the conditional probability of E given

3 Multiplication Theorem on Probability

Let E and F be two events associated with a sample space S
...
In other words, E ✂ F denotes the
simultaneous occurrence of the events E and F
...

Very often we need to find the probability of the event EF
...
The probability of event EF is obtained
by using the conditional probability as obtained below :
We know that the conditional probability of event E given that F has occurred is
denoted by P(E|F) and is given by
P(E|F) =

P (E F)
,P (F) ✁ 0
P (F)

From this result, we can write
P (E ✂ F) = P (F)
...
(1)

Thus,
P(E ✂ F) = P(E)
...
(2)
Combining (1) and (2), we find that
P (E ✂ F) = P(E) P(F|E)
= P(F) P(E|F) provided P(E) ✄ 0 and P(F) ✄ 0
...

Let us now take up an example
...
Two balls are drawn from the
urn one after the other without replacement
...
We have to find P (E ✂ F) or P (EF)
...
e
...
Therefore, the probability that the
second ball drawn is black, given that the ball in the first draw is black, is nothing but
the conditional probability of F given that E has occurred
...
e
...

The following example illustrates the extension of multiplication rule of probability
for three events
...
What is the probability that first two cards are kings and the
third card drawn is an ace?
Solution Let K denote the event that the card drawn is king and A be the event that
the card drawn is an ace
...
Now there are three kings in (52 ❾ 1) = 51 cards
...
Now there are four aces in left 50 cards
...
4 Independent Events
Consider the experiment of drawing a card from a deck of 52 playing cards, in which
the elementary events are assumed to be equally likely
...

We also have
Since P(E) =

P (E ✄ F) 52 1

P(F|E) =

P(E)

1
= P (F|E) shows that occurrence of event E has not affected
13
the probability of occurrence of the event F
...

Such events are called independent events
...
P (F|E)

...
(2)
P (E ✂ F) = P (E)
...
P (F)
Remarks
(i) Two events E and F are said to be dependent if they are not independent, i
...
if
P (E ✂ F ) ✄ P (E)
...
Term ‘independent’ is defined in terms of ‘probability of events’
whereas mutually exclusive is defined in term of events (subset of sample space)
...
Clearly, ‘independent’ and
‘mutually exclusive’ do not have the same meaning
...
e
...

(iii) Two experiments are said to be independent if for every pair of events E and F,
where E is associated with the first experiment and F with the second experiment,
the probability of the simultaneous occurrence of the events E and F when the
two experiments are performed is the product of P(E) and P(F) calculated
separately on the basis of two experiments, i
...
, P (E ✂ F) = P (E)
...

Example 10 A die is thrown
...
P (F)
E and F are independent events
...
Let the event A be ‘odd number on the
first throw’ and B the event ‘odd number on the second throw’
...

Solution If all the 36 elementary events of the experiment are considered to be equally
likely, we have

Famous mathematician, John Bayes' solved the problem
of finding reverse probability by using conditional probability

Before stating and proving the Bayes' theorem, let us first take up a definition and
some preliminary results

, En is said to represent a partition of the sample space S if
(a) Ei ✂ Ej = ☎, i ✄ j, i, j = 1, 2, 3,
...
✆ En= S and

(c) P(Ei) > 0 for all i = 1, 2,
...

In other words, the events E1, E2,
...

As an example, we see that any nonempty event E and its complement E✞ form a
partition of the sample space S since they satisfy E ✂ E✞ = ☎ and E ✆ E✞ = S
...
3, one can easily observe that if E and F are any
two events associated with a sample space S, then the set {E ✂ F✞, E ✂ F, E✞ ✂ F, E✞ ✂ F✞}
is a partition of the sample space S
...
There can be several partitions of the same sample space

We know that

Ei and Ej are disjoint, for i ✠ j , therefore, A ✂ Ei and A ✂ Ej are also disjoint for all

The probability P(Ei) is called the priori probability of the hypothesis Ei

The Bayes' theorem has its applications in variety of situations, few of which are
illustrated in following examples

In
most of these experiments, we were not only interested in the particular outcome that
occurs but rather in some number associated with that outcomes as shown in following
examples/experiments
...

(ii) In tossing a coin 50 times, we may want the number of heads obtained
...

In all of the above experiments, we have a rule which assigns to each outcome of
the experiment a single real number
...
Hence, it is a variable
...
A random
variable is usually denoted by X
...
A random variable can take any real value, therefore, its
co-domain is the set of real numbers
...

For example, let us consider the experiment of tossing a coin two times in succession
...

If X denotes the number of heads obtained, then X is a random variable and for
each outcome, its value is as given below :
X (HH) = 2, X (HT) = 1, X (TH) = 1, X (TT) = 0
...
For
example, let Y denote the number of heads minus the number of tails for each outcome
of the above sample space S
...

Thus, X and Y are two different random variables defined on the same sample
space S
...
For each head, he is
given Rs 2 by the organiser of the game and for each tail, he has to give Rs 1
...
Let X denote the amount gained or lost by the person
...

Solution X is a number whose values are defined on the outcomes of a random
experiment
...

Now, sample space of the experiment is
S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}

PROBABILITY

Then

559

X (HHH) = Rs (2 × 3) = Rs 6
X (HHT) = X (HTH) = X (THH) = Rs (2 × 2 ❾ 1 × 1
...
50
X (HTT) = X (THT) = (TTH) = Rs (1 × 2) – (2 × 1
...
50) =

Rs 4
...
Thus, for each element of the sample
space, X takes a unique value, hence, X is a function on the sample space whose range
is
{– 1, 2

means of a single number that can be computed from its probability distribution
...
In this section, we shall discuss mean only

7 Bernoulli Trials and Binomial Distribution
13
...
1 Bernoulli trials
Many experiments are dichotomous in nature
...
In such cases, it is customary to call one of the outcomes a ‘success’
and the other ‘not success’ or ‘failure’
...

Each time we toss a coin or roll a die or perform any other experiment, we call it a
trial
...
The outcome of any trial is independent of the
outcome of any other trial
...
Such independent trials which have only two outcomes usually
referred as ‘success’ or ‘failure’ are called Bernoulli trials
...

(ii) The trials should be independent
...

(iv) The probability of success remains the same in each trial
...
Obviously, the successive throws
of the die are independent experiments
...

written on six faces, then p =
2

Example 30 Six balls are drawn successively from an urn containing 7 red and 9 black
balls
...

(i) replaced
Solution
(i) The number of trials is finite
...
Hence, the drawing of balls with replacements are Bernoulli trials
...
e
...
Clearly, the probability of success is
15
not same for all trials, hence the trials are not Bernoulli trials
...
7
...
Let S and F denote respectively success and failure in each
trial
...

Clearly, six different cases are there as listed below:
SFFFFF, FSFFFF, FFSFFF, FFFSFF, FFFFSF, FFFFFS
...
It will be
lengthy job to list all of these ways
...
,
n number of successes may be lengthy and time consuming
...
For this purpose, let us take the
experiment made up of three Bernoulli trials with probabilities p and q = 1 – p for
success and failure respectively in each trial
...

The probability distribution of the number of successes is as below :
P(X = 0) = P(no success)
= P({FFF}) = P(F) P(F) P(F)
= q
...
q = q3 since the trials are independent
P(X = 1) = P(one successes)
= P({SFF, FSF, FFS})
= P({SFF}) + P({FSF}) + P({FFS})
= P(S) P(F) P(F) + P(F) P(S) P(F) + P(F) P(F) P(S)
= p
...
q + q
...
q + q
...
p = 3pq2
P(X = 2) = P (two successes)
= P({SSF, SFS, FSS})
= P({SSF}) + P ({SFS}) + P({FSS})

P(S)
...

Also, since q + p = 1, it follows that the sum of these probabilities, as expected, is 1
...
, n successes can be obtained as 1st, 2nd,
...
To prove this assertion (result), let us find the probability of x-successes in
an experiment of n-Bernoulli trials
...


n!
Now, x successes (S) and (n – x) failures (F) can be obtained in x !(n ✁ x)! ways

P(n–x) failures is

Thus, the probability of x successes in n-Bernoulli trials is

A binomial distribution with n-Bernoulli trials and probability of success in each
trial as p, is denoted by B (n, p)

Historical Note
The earliest indication on measurement of chances in game of dice appeared
in 1477 in a commentary on Dante's Divine Comedy
...
In this treatise, he gives the number of favourable cases
for each event when two dice are thrown
...
Galileo analysed that when three dice are
thrown, the sum of the number that appear is more likely to be 10 than the sum 9,
because the number of cases favourable to 10 are more than the number of
cases for the appearance of number 9

A French gambler, Chevalier de Metre asked Pascal to explain
some seeming contradiction between his theoretical reasoning and the

These equations arise in a variety of applications, may it be in Physics, Chemistry,
Biology, Anthropology, Geology, Economics etc

In this chapter, we will study some basic concepts related to differential equation,
general and particular solutions of a differential equation, formation of differential
equations, some methods to solve a first order - first degree differential equation and
some applications of differential equations in different areas

Leibnitz was actually interested in the problem of finding a curve whose tangents
were prescribed
...
A year later he formulated the ‘method of solving the homogeneous
differential equations of the first order’
...
How surprising is it that all these methods came from a single man
and that too within 25 years of the birth of differential equations!
In the old days, what we now call the ‘solution’ of a differential equation,
was used to be referred to as ‘integral’ of the differential equation, the word
being coined by James Bernoulli (1654 - 1705) in 1690
...
It was Jules Henri Poincare
(1854 - 1912) who strongly advocated the use of the word ‘solution’ and thus the
word ‘solution’ has found its deserved place in modern terminology
...

Application to geometric problems were also considered
...

In a letter to Leibnitz, dated May 20, 1715, he revealed the solutions of the
differential equation
x2 y = 2y,
which led to three types of curves, viz

1 Introduction
In Class XI, while studying Analytical Geometry in two
dimensions, and the introduction to three dimensional
geometry, we confined to the Cartesian methods only
...
We will now use vector algebra
to three dimensional geometry
...

In this chapter, we shall study the direction cosines
and direction ratios of a line joining two points and also
discuss about the equations of lines and planes in space
under different conditions, angle between two lines, two
Leonhard Euler
planes, a line and a plane, shortest distance between two
(1707-1783)
skew lines and distance of a point from a plane
...
Nevertheless, we shall also translate
these results in the Cartesian form which, at times, presents a more clear geometric
and analytic picture of the situation
...
2 Direction Cosines and Direction Ratios of a Line
From Chapter 10, recall that if a directed line L passing through the origin makes
angles , ✂ and ✄ with x, y and z-axes, respectively, called direction angles, then cosine
of these angles, namely, cos , cos ✂ and cos ✄ are called direction cosines of the
directed line L
...
e
...
Thus, the signs of the direction cosines are reversed
...
1

Note that a given line in space can be extended in two opposite directions and so it
has two sets of direction cosines
...
These unique
direction cosines are denoted by l, m and n
...

Now take one of the directed lines from the origin and find its direction cosines as two
parallel line have same set of direction cosines
...
If l, m, n are direction cosines and a, b, c are
direction ratios of a line, then a = l, b= m and c = n, for any nonzero ✁ R
...

Let a, b, c be direction ratios of a line and let l, m and n be the direction cosines

Then

Therefore

1 Introduction
In earlier classes, we have discussed systems of linear
equations and their applications in day to day problems
...
Many applications in mathematics
involve systems of inequalities/equations
...
He has Rs 50,000 to invest and has storage space
of at most 60 pieces
...
He estimates that from the sale of one table, he
L
...
He wants to know how many tables and chairs he should buy
from the available money so as to maximise his total profit, assuming that he can sell all
the items which he buys
...
Thus, an optimisation
problem may involve finding maximum profit, minimum cost, or minimum use of
resources etc
...
The above stated optimisation problem is an example of linear programming
problem
...

In this chapter, we shall study some linear programming problems and their solutions
by graphical method only, though there are many other methods also to solve such
problems
...
2 Linear Programming Problem and its Mathematical Formulation
We begin our discussion with the above example of furniture dealer which will further
lead to a mathematical formulation of the problem in two variables
...

Further he would earn different profits by following different investment
strategies
...
, his investment is
limited to a maximum of Rs 50,000 and so is his storage space which is for a
maximum of 60 pieces
...
e
...
His profit in this case will be Rs (250 × 20), i
...
, Rs 5000
...
With his capital of Rs 50,000,
he can buy 50000 ÷ 500, i
...
100 chairs
...
Therefore, he
is forced to buy only 60 chairs which will give him a total profit of Rs (60 × 75), i
...
,
Rs 4500
...
Total profit in this case would be
Rs (10 × 250 + 50 × 75), i
...
, Rs 6250 and so on
...

Now the problem is : How should he invest his money in order to get maximum
profit? To answer this question, let us try to formulate the problem mathematically
...
2
...

Obviously, x and y must be non-negative, i
...
,
x 0✁
✂ (Non-negative constraints)
y 0✄


...
(2)

The dealer is constrained by the maximum amount he can invest (Here it is
Rs 50,000) and by the maximum number of items he can store (Here it is 60)
...
(3)

and

x + y ☎ 60 (storage constraint)


...
(5)
Mathematically, the given problems now reduces to:
Maximise Z = 250x + 75y
subject to the constraints:
5x + y ✂ 100
x + y ✂ 60
x ✄ 0, y ✄ 0
So, we have to maximise the linear function Z subject to certain conditions determined
by a set of linear inequalities with variables as non-negative
...
Such problems
are called Linear Programming Problems
...

The term linear implies that all the mathematical relations used in the problem are
linear relations while the term programming refers to the method of determining a
particular programme or plan of action
...

In the above example, Z = 250x + 75y is a linear objective function
...

Constraints The linear inequalities or equations or restrictions on the variables of a
linear programming problem are called constraints
...
In the above example, the set of inequalities (1) to (4)
are constraints
...
Linear programming
problems are special type of optimisation problems
...

We will now discuss how to find solutions to a linear programming problem
...

12
...
2 Graphical method of solving linear programming problems
In Class XI, we have learnt how to graph a system of linear inequalities involving two
variables x and y and to find its solutions graphically
...
2
...
Let us graph the constraints stated as linear inequalities:
5x + y ✂ 100


...
(2)

x✄0


...
(4)

The graph of this system (shaded region) consists of the points common to all half
planes determined by the inequalities (1) to (4) (Fig 12
...
Each point in this region
represents a feasible choice open to the dealer for investing in tables and chairs
...
Every point of this
region is called a feasible solution to the problem
...
In Fig 12
...
The region other than feasible region is called an
infeasible region
...
In
Fig 12
...

For example, the point (10, 50) is a feasible
solution of the problem and so are the points
(0, 60), (20, 0) etc
...
For example,
the point (25, 40) is an infeasible solution of
the problem
...

MATHEMATICS

Optimal (feasible) solution: Any point in the feasible region that gives the optimal
value (maximum or minimum) of the objective function is called an optimal solution
...
To handle this situation, we use the following theorems which are
fundamental in solving linear programming problems
...

Theorem 1 Let R be the feasible region (convex polygon) for a linear programming
problem and let Z = ax + by be the objective function
...

Theorem 2 Let R be the feasible region for a linear programming problem, and let
Z = ax + by be the objective function
...

Remark If R is unbounded, then a maximum or a minimum value of the objective
function may not exist
...

(By Theorem 1)
...
Let us now compute the values of Z at these points
...

** A feasible region of a system of linear inequalities is said to be bounded if it can be enclosed within a
circle
...
Unbounded means that the feasible region does extend
indefinitely in any direction
...
e
...

This method of solving linear programming problem is referred as Corner Point
Method
...
Find the feasible region of the linear programming problem and determine its
corner points (vertices) either by inspection or by solving the two equations of
the lines intersecting at that point
...
Evaluate the objective function Z = ax + by at each corner point
...

Otherwise, Z

...
2 is the feasible region determined by the system
of constraints (2) to (4)
...
So,
we now use Corner Point Method to determine the maximum value of Z
...
Now we evaluate Z at each corner point
...

Hence, maximum value of Z is 120 at the point (30, 0)

From the table, we find that

Remark Observe that in the above example, the problem has multiple optimal solutions
at the corner points C and D, i

the both points produce same maximum value 180

Same is also true in the case if the
two points produce same minimum value

Solution First of all, let us graph the feasible region of the system of inequalities (2) to
(5)
...

...

We now evaluate Z at the corner points
...
5

From this table, we find that – 300 is the smallest value of Z at the corner point
(6, 0)
...

But here we see that the feasible region is unbounded
...
To decide this issue, we graph the inequality
– 50x + 20y < – 300 (see Step 3(ii) of corner Point Method
...
e
...
If it has common points, then –300 will not be the minimum value of Z
...


LINEAR PROGRAMMING

513

As shown in the Fig 12
...
Therefore, Z = –50 x + 20 y
has no minimum value subject to the given constraints
...

x+y✄8


...

x ✄ 0, y ✄ 0


...

...
6, you can see that
there is no point satisfying all the
constraints simultaneously
...

Remarks From the examples which we
have discussed so far, we notice some
general features of linear programming
problems:
(i) The feasible region is always a
convex region
...
6
(ii) The maximum (or minimum)
solution of the objective function occurs at the vertex (corner) of the feasible
region

Example 7 (Allocation problem) A cooperative society of farmers has 50 hectare
of land to grow two crops X and Y
...
To control weeds, a liquid herbicide
has to be used for crops X and Y at rates of 20 litres and 10 litres per hectare
...
How much land should be allocated
to each crop so as to maximise the total profit of the society?
Solution Let x hectare of land be allocated to crop X and y hectare to crop Y
...

Profit per hectare on crop X = Rs 10500
Profit per hectare on crop Y = Rs 9000
Therefore, total profit
= Rs (10500x + 9000y)

LINEAR PROGRAMMING

The mathematical formulation of the problem is as follows:
Maximise

Z = 10500 x + 9000 y

subject to the constraints:

these vertices to find which one gives the maximum profit

LINEAR PROGRAMMING

Any point in the feasible region that gives the optimal value (maximum or
minimum) of the objective function is called an optimal solution
...
When Z
has an optimal value (maximum or minimum), where the variables x and y
are subject to constraints described by linear inequalities, this optimal value
must occur at a corner point (vertex) of the feasible region
...
If R is bounded, then the
objective function Z has both a maximum and a minimum value on R and
each of these occurs at a corner point (vertex) of R
...
However, if it exists, it must occur at a corner point of R
...
The method
comprises of the following steps:
(i) Find the feasible region of the linear programming problem and determine
its corner points (vertices)
...
Let M
and m respectively be the largest and smallest values at these points
...

If the feasible region is unbounded, then
(i) M is the maximum value of the objective function, if the open half plane
determined by ax + by > M has no point in common with the feasible
region
...

(ii) m is the minimum value of the objective function, if the open half plane
determined by ax + by < m has no point in common with the feasible
region
...

If two corner points of the feasible region are both optimal solutions of the
same type, i
...
, both produce the same maximum or minimum, then any point
on the line segment joining these two points is also an optimal solution of the
same type

Historical Note
The word vector has been derived from a Latin word vectus, which means
“to carry”
...
William Rowen Hamilton
(1805-1865) an Irish mathematician was the first to use the term vector for a
directed line segment in his book Lectures on Quaternions (1853)
...
Though, we must
mention here that in practice, the idea of vector concept and their addition was
known much earlier ever since the time of Aristotle (384-322 B
...
), a Greek
philosopher, and pupil of Plato (427-348 B
...
That time it was supposed to be
known that the combined action of two or more forces could be seen by adding
them according to parallelogram law
...
In 1586 A
...
, he analysed the principle of
geometric addition of forces in his treatise DeBeghinselen der Weeghconst
(“Principles of the Art of Weighing”), which caused a major breakthrough in the
development of mechanics
...

In the 1880, Josaih Willard Gibbs (1839-1903), an American physicist
and mathematician, and Oliver Heaviside (1850-1925), an English engineer, created
what we now know as vector analysis, essentially by separating the real (scalar)

part of quaternion from its imaginary (vector) part
